Restoring the Icon of German Engineering....1957 Rolleicord Va TLR

Description:

I found this amazing TLR camera at a local flea market, and because of the camera's conditions, nobody wants it. I did my best to repair and restore this beautiful 1957 Rolleicord Va (Type 1) vintage analog camera from a terribly bad condition. I hope you enjoy the video and find it useful. -----Chapters ----- 00:00 Intro 01:05 Disassembly 11:10 Working on the shutter 32:30 Adjusting shutter speeds 34:02 Working on the lenses 41:28 Working on the body 52:31 Reassembling the body mechanisms 57:57 Reassembling the shutter and lenses. 01:05:20 Reassembling the viewfinder 01:15:46 Focusing adjustments 01:20:37 Replacing the leatherette 01:29:04 Testing the film loading 01:30:42 Final touch-ups 01:32:32 Before and After 01:33:19 Test shots 🪛Some of the TOOLS that are good for camera repair.🔨 🎫Leather cutting machine - 🎫leather cutting blade holder - 🎫Mini polishing machine - 🎫Mini Sandblaster - 🎫Mini HVLP spray gun - 🎫Airbrush - 🎫WD-40 - 🎫WD-40 PTFE drylube - 🎫Silicone Grease - 🎫Precision Circlip Plier - 🎫Recessed Lens spanner - 🎫V-shaped lens spanner - 🎫Eco white glue. - 🎫CA glue remover - 🎫Ultrasonic Cleaner 40khz - 🎫Sekonic lightmeter - 🎫Precision screwdriver set - #vintagecamerarestoration #camerarepair #restoration #filmphotography #rollei #TLR #film #analogcamera #vintage #howto #camerarepair #repair #camerarestoration #vintagecamera #vintage #mediumformat
